Right? At any rate, I can do that, and let you know how it works. Still undecided on the fans although there are two small ones (7"x7" 400cfm) on order. First step is to open the cowl flap opening to 144sq" (6"X24"), reseal everywhere, and adjust the left inlet. If that doesn't work then the fans go on..:0) Oh! Also plumb in the ASI to measure "Dynamic Pressure Recovery" Regards, Tommy James<>< "Use a double throw double pole switch. Connect both fan wires to the center, (switchable) connections. Connect the power wires to one end connections and to the other end connect a jumper, shorting the two terminals. In the "OFF" position. The wires from the fan are shunted, and the fan will not spin up to any extent until you turn it on." Lynn "Put the power to the motor through a DPDT relay... the NO contacts are the +/- power in, the common contacts go to the motor. You connect the NC contacts together so you short out the current coming from the motor-now-generator when the relay is de-energized. The short across the motor works like a brake and keeps it (or stops it, in our case)from spinning. I don't see why this same thinking couldn't be applied to a fan motor. Just a thought.
